Mange la Monja (pardon my french)

This weekend we had dinner in nearby Kamioka with a group of locals that we've met here. On the menu was "monja" which is a pancake batter that is cooked on a hotplate at the table.

The batter is then divided and toppings are added.

Italian and curry!

Soy sauce and kimchi!

Once the batter is semi-cooked, you use your little spatula to separate out small sections. You push the small sections of batter into the hotplate to speed up the cooking.



We also had some delicious takoyaki (fried balls of octopus). Yum!
